UBports working to improve Unity8 |
|
The UBports teams has been continuing to work on and improve the Unity8 desktop environment, in particuar work is being done to improve the dash - where applications are launched: "We particularly want to see what people think about the new Dash. The changes beneath the surface are very extensive but they will not be directly visible to users. The Dash will be noticed though. Features such as multibranch and workspace have been made possible by the architecture improvements and those will be introduced later on. Various alternatives to the Dash setup have been suggested but it is generally sensible to reduce complexity. It means that there is less to maintain and less to go wrong. The code for the Dash had already been mostly done by Canonical, so why waste their efforts? There is a search for apps in the Dash, just like desktop. There are already some launcher app alternatives in the OpenStore, so you can customise if you wish." Additional information on work being done to the UBports mobile operating system can be found in the project's recent blog post. |
